2027 NCQA Health Plan Accreditation Standards:

What Changed, What Matters, and What to Do Next

Thursday, October 15, 2026 | 1 to 2 PM ET

$400 for your entire organization

NCQA publishes what changed. It doesn't tell you what to change.

That's the part that falls to your team.

Which policy now conflicts.
Which report needs a new data element.
How a surveyor will read your documentation against the new language.

And it usually gets sorted out once, quickly, by whoever had the document open first. That version becomes the organization's position by default, and nobody revisits it until survey prep.

In one hour, you'll leave with:

Clarity on what changed. The 2027 Health Plan Accreditation standards, walked through by consultants who work in them every day.

A short list instead of a long one. Not every change carries equal weight. We sort them into what needs work now, what needs monitoring, and what doesn't apply to you.

A place to start. What your team should do, in what order, while there's still time to build it into 2027 planning.

Answers to your own questions. Time is reserved for the specific situations you bring.

Interpretation from people who apply the standards

MHR's consultants include current NCQA surveyors. That's the difference between a reading that holds up and one that costs points, and it's rarely written down anywhere.

MHR has guided health plans through NCQA standards changes since 1991.

$400 covers your whole organization. Not a seat. Everyone.

Bring your UM lead, your credentialing manager, your QI analyst, and whoever inherited the standards binder last spring. Everyone hears the same interpretation at the same time, which is far cheaper than discovering two departments read it differently during survey prep.

Your registration includes:

Organization-wide access on one registration
The slide deck, built as a working guide your team can plan from
The replay, so anyone who can't attend live isn't left with the secondhand version
